For the 16th consecutive year, The Rotary Foundation has received the highest rating - four stars - from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of charities in the U.S. The Rotary Foundation earned the recognition for adhering to sector best practices and executing its mission in a financially efficient way demonstrating both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.
"We are delighted to provide The Rotary Foundation with third-party accreditation that validates their operational excellence," said Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator. "The Four-Star Rating is the highest possible rating an organization can achieve. We are eager to see the good work that The Rotary Foundation is able to accomplish in the years ahead."
Charity Navigator analyzes nonprofit performance based on four key indicators, referred to as beacons. Currently, nonprofits can earn scores for the impact and results, accountability and finance, culture and communities, and leadership and adaptability.
